Anglerbe's Soundtrack of the Week

Silent Hill 0rigins

Far From Rescue

I'm fairly sure that this one plays when you are attacked by the otherworld version of Plastic Man (follow this link for more on that), but even if I'm wrong about that, there's no denying the panicked sense of insanity that it instills. A handful of the tracks in Origins seem to have tribal qualities (reminding me a bit of the Forest Temple from Ocarina of Time), specifically the beats, and I think this works effectively to create a kind of threatening atmosphere. You get the sense that you're being attacked by... something. Which, (in)conveniently, you are.
